Article: What to get where on the highstreet!

Before, during, and after your new baby arrives, there will no doubt be countless products that you need to dash out for. With such a huge selection of baby merchandise on the market, many shops will sell everyday baby necessities, and many more will specialise in various other baby products besides. This page is intended to be a rough guide as to which highstreet stores sell which baby products, in order to prepare you for those planned and impromptu shopping trips.

Due to the large amount of baby products available, the following categories have been created. Please use this as a reference key. Please also note that online shops connected with these stores may sell different or additional products.
